> I don't think there's any inherent upside to using Web Components over React.

The upside is that web components will last longer than react components.

There was a great blog post about this very thing and why someone chose them over react components in their use case (making their code migration-proof across updates and stack changes): https://jakelazaroff.com/words/web-components-will-outlive-y...

Downloading 2gb of anything on my iPhone via wifi from my in-home gigabit fiber barely puts a dent in my battery life let alone much time.

The random ads in most phone games are much worse on my battery life.
Yeah, some poor phrasing on my behalf.

I do hope that those working in these companies actually building the tools do care. But unfortunately, it seems that corruption is an emergent property of complexity.
Fiction can be nice. But the hardest is finding good books. I like computer science and electronic books and finding good materials to explore the fields is relatively easy. They're more dense so I can use them for a longer period of time. Finding a good fiction book is not that easy (even though I restrict myself to Fantasy and a little bit of SF). I have a list of 153 series (some I still have to explore) collected over 3-5 years. I've read more, but that's basically the ones that warranted a reread. And even then some are just for light reading.
Cool. Too bad it’s Apple and it’s locked down to Apple products.

If Apple ever decides to pivot business to chip manufacturing that allows open access and sale. Then I would revisit.

Always need competition in this space. Especially for low power cpu/gpus.

> Does this mean we have to call the text gen API twice? First to analyze and ask if it violates TOS and then second to finally fulfill the user's requests?

This just means the user generated content gets sent to the API once with different framing (risking a ban or strike or whatever) and if it doesn't trigger your detection gets sent again with the normal framing (giving another chance at a provider ban, strike, etc.)

Seems like that would just accelerate your ban by having you send each potentially-violating interaction twice, with slightly different context, giving more chances of a violation and possibly doubling violations for some content.

You can probably do better at reducing your risk by running a local classifier (or a comparatively small local LLM) as your trouble detector, before deciding to send a request to the backend, though validating the trouble detector setup may be problematic.
it takes some practice. and i find it's more difficult with short stories because there every detail counts. if you miss a few details from a longer book, it tends to matter less.

and then while listening i need to do an activity that doesn't require mental focus.

so i can't sit in front of the computer, unless it is mundane photo editing or some other repetitive task that doesn't make me think.

going for a walk and housework work for me. especially housework. there is nothing else i can do while washing dishes, cooking, doing laundry or cleaning. the work doesn't require much focus, and is quite repetitive. that makes listening easy.

In which a constitutional law professor at Columbia discusses the role of a university president in general (particularly as it relates to maintaining and extending the university's endowment), and Columbia's response to the current student protests.

He comes out on the side of the pro-Palestine students.

You're absolutely right, I'm so glad that Apple was the first company to release a phone with a touch screen, or a phone with an app store, or a smart watch or a VR headset.

Apple doesn't release new products, they wait until the actual brave and innovating companies have done the exploration and then capitalize on all of their learnings. Because they are never the first movers and they have mountains of cash, they're able to enter the market without the baggage of early adopters. They don't have to worry about maintaining their early prototypes.

Apple doesn't innovate or show leadership, they wait until the innovators have proven that the market is big enough to handle Apple, then they swoop in with a product that combines the visions of the companies that were competing.

Apple is great at what they do, don't get me wrong. And swooping in when the market is right is just good business. Just don't mistake that for innovation or leadership.

> Lag is a real killer for LLMs.

I'm curious to hear more about this. My experience has been that inference speeds are the #1 cause of delay by orders of magnitude, and I'd assume those won't go down substantially on edge devices because the cloud will be getting faster at approximately the same rate.

Have people outside the US benchmarked OpenAI's response times and found network lag to be a substantial contributor to slowness?

I don't understand it either. Maybe there's more going on behind the scenes that we don't know about, but on the face of it seems like a really poor decision.

Large publishers keep reiterating the importance of successful IPs these days, and Hi-Fi Rush was like lightning in a bottle. Here Microsoft had a new IP with critical acclaim, suitable for a large audience, and ripe for a sequel. You'd think they would cling to it for dear life, especially given how their other IPs are doing (Halo, Redfall, Starfield...)

Closing the studio doesn't necessarily mean they're ditching the IP, but it doesn't bode well.
I assume they were talking about the school library, rather than a big library downtown somewhere. Certainly that is where I first fell in love with books. Sometimes all it takes to make someone a lifelong reader is a good librarian with a shelf full of curated picks, eye-catching covers facing out.

As the article notes, school libraries are getting defunded and politicized, which is extremely sad to me, and disproportionately worrying for the future.

what you’re arguing is that a product that meets the basic criteria of a good product makes it luxury. That seems pretty wild to me.

No one calls a Toyota Camry with base options luxury but it works well for a long time and has good quality.
I just used your source. It's bizarre that they adjust the vehicle stats for population size but not the pedestrian ones.

Regardless, here's a different source, search for "Pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people by age, 1975-2021": https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/pedes...

The 2021 death rate is 2.2, that's the same as what it was in 1993. Looks like it's only gotten worse since then too: https://www.ghsa.org/resources/Pedestrians24

The point remains the same, vulnerable road user deaths are the more important statistic and it's not looking good whatsoever.

Something has changed with how the iPads behave at rest. When I got my first iPad in 2010
I could leave it for weeks, pick it up, and it would hardly use any battery at all. Today, it seems like my iPad mini will eat 10% or more per day just sitting on a table untouched. I don’t like leaving it plugged in all the time, but with it being dead every time I go to pick it up, I simply stop picking it up.

Even a good battery isn’t that good. That seems to be a software problem.

My only theory is it’s turning on the screen every time it gets a notification. However, I have a case that covers the screen, which should keep the screen off in my opinion. I have thought about disabling 100% of the notification, but without a global toggle that seems pretty annoying to do.
just glancing over this doc, it seems like a lot of these are problems currently ignored by existing frameworks and solved by bundlers, and the remainder of them were problems that each framework addressed independently after years of development

This is not true. It only provably does not exist in local hidden variables.
> A separate study by the Energy Institute found last year that fossil fuels including oil, gas and coal made up 82% of the world’s primary energy

So which is it? 30%? Or 18%? Honestly I think 18% is too high. There's no link to any actual study in this article. It seems like it's a purely propaganda piece. It literally contradicts itself within the article.

EV have an insanely high costs and anthropocentric climate change is likely not happening. Even if it was, every single "green garbage" product that's pushed will consume more energy and cause more environmental damage and waste that just reducing consumption and keeping old tools and vehicles in use longer.
btm --basic doesn't show graphs. but that is the point because when i saw the graphs i felt that while that is nice, that's not a replacement for top/htop. it's something different. btm --basic however looks very similar to htop. so similar that i didn't see the benefit.
Also, you pay property taxes on the actual floor sizes.

So even if you turn into apartments the areas close to windows the rest of the space is still taxed even if empty.

Thus, in areas like Manhattan it's virtually impossible to convert those buildings or you need to literally cut off the center of these buildings.

If I recall correctly, 3D printers don't even handle smooth curves in 2D. I've heard CNC people express contempt at how primitive the Gcode used by printers is, how it doesn't support any of the advanced features of machine movement that create smooth curves.
In my experience, pure black-and-white text does extremely badly.

If someone is in a position where they have to read through 100 resumes, there is a limit to how often they can look at a paragraph-formatted WYSIWYG text edited black and white document that says "I did well at school, I worked some jobs afterwards, now I want to work here". They blend together something shocking.

It is worth having a tasteful dash of colour or maybe a formatted header/footer where possible. Low bar, but there is a big pool of serially unable-to-get-past-screening candidates who can't clear it and you want to stand out from them if at all possible.
It’s half the price because by the time the MacBook Air dies you’re on your second or third acer.
Lately, when I have to do a coding interview, I ask the candidate to test some code, not write some code. I learn a lot more about how they think that way, and if you have an argument as to why testing is not a relevant skill, I would like to hear it.

Usually I do something like this: candidate picks a language (let's say Python) and I will put up a function prototype that is maybe almost Pythonic, and has a SphinxDoc docstring that is subtly not-quite-complete, and say the rest of the function is a block box that you need to test.

First off, do you have any questions about the definition? Or let's say you saw this prototype for a yet-to-be-implemented function in a design review, would you have any input or want clarifications?

Then, I would ask the candidate to present some test stimulus and expected results. Not code, just make a table with inputs and expected output in columns.

I find out very quickly if they can think about corner cases, think about possible exceptions, know which exception is appropriate under various circumstances, and occasionally (too rarely...) I will get some opinions about various test frameworks that they like or don't.

This technique will not sort people by how fast they can code up a tree balancer. But.... if after hiring them if I were to ask them to implement a tree balancer, I can be pretty confident that it will work.
Im on windows and I find the native Docker desktop app pretty good. Does podman offer benfits over it?
Do you have any sources or reading about this?

I would love to see something more than conjecture about a VERY unintuitive idea.

Newton was pretty adamant that an object weighing 5k lbs (an F-150) would impart quite a bit more force than an object weighing 2k pounds (an economy car).

If all of the force is being imparted into a planter, a tree, or the front of a 7-eleven, I'm still inclined to believe that more force, higher off the ground, is going to matter a whole lot more than a few extra square feet. One way or another the energy is going somewhere, and there is A LOT more energy in a pickup truck.

Also, keep in mind, the crumple zone protects the passenger compartment, not the object being hit. The bumper of an f150 is right in front of a ladder frame to which several thousand pounds of iron machinery is bolted.

I'll still take the smaller, faster stopping, more maneuverable, less energetic battering ram.

Give them some credit - Forza Horizon 5 was extremely buggy on release and for months after! Many non-race goals/activities, a significant part of gameplay were totally broken. I don't know if it ever got better? It could have been a quality game but I gave up.

You're spot on. It's just funny to me that the lone quality release was also botched imo.

The unexpected joy of the Squirrel Census
I'm not so sure New York City is a valid comparison with other cities (in the US) wrt "downtown" living. NYC has a long, solid history of this kind of living that most other cities just don't have. For example, transportation: NYC is perhaps the only city in the US where you can live a completely full life without a car. Most other cities have developed around cars as the primary transportation method, so if you want to live any sort of normal life, you're probably gonna need a car. If you live on the Upper West side in Manhattan and want to see a friend in Hicksville, Long Island, it's a simple subway/train ride. However, if you live in downtown St. Louis, and you wanna see a friend in Oakville, South County, you're not getting there without a car. And I think most cities in the US are like this - maybe exceptions are San Francisco and Chicago? Maybe?

My Acer Aspire lasted me for tens of thousands of hours of use and abuse by small children over 6 years until I replaced it this year because I finally felt like I wanted more power. That's the Toyota Camry of laptops.

Yeah I greatly enjoy cold brew too. But it's too easy for people working these stands to just take any old coffee that's cold (or even just "not hot) and call it "cold brew." Far too often people just don't know the difference and serve plain iced coffee.

If it were called something else, maybe there wouldn't be this level of confusion, or people couldn't get away with the cheap/lazy way of just serving yesterday's leftover hot coffee as "cold brew."
The point you're missing is that it's about the future. I generally agree, but it's obvious everything becomes more RAM intensive as time goes on. Hell, even games can take more than 8 GB of purely VRam these days.

> Google has been around for 26 years I believe. According to that link 60 apps were killed in that timeframe. According to your statement that Google kills an app a month that would leave you 252 apps short. Furthermore, the numbers would indicate that Google has killed 2.3 apps per year or .192 apps per month.

Most of the "Services" on that list are effectively apps, too:

VPN by Google One, Album Archive, Hangouts, all the way back to Answers, Writely, and Deskbar.

I didn't touch hardware, because I think that should be considered separately.

The first of 211 services on that site was killed in 2006.

The first of the 60 apps on that site was killed in 2012.

So even apps alone, 4.28 a year.

But more inclusively, 271 apps or services in 17 years is ~16/year, over one a month.

You need to remind yourself of the site guidelines about assuming the worst. Your comments just come across condescendingly.

Geometric Langlands, while inspired by questions Weil was interested in, is actually answering somewhat different questions, which are not arithmetic in nature: hence the 'geometric' moniker. The actual Langlands program, which deals with number fields and hence with questions of an arithmetic flavor (meaning solving equations over the rational numbers rather than the real or complex numbers) is still very much unexplored in its full generality.

Edit: it appears that I might have spoken too soon. At the link below is a paper by Sam Rankin establishing some consequences for arithmetic questions, though over function fields (such as those formed by rational functions over finite fields).

We need a simple file format and or mathematical expression that describes the 3D clearance around the nozzle for a particular printer. This way slicers can automatically slope things as much as possible automatically. I suspect this would be useful on most printers even without modifying the hardware- even a a very small layer slope would improve overhangs a lot.
Has anyone actually seen this or a is the entire evidence of this just based on someone trying the domain name search.openai.com and finding a placeholder?

I don't think there are many places where there is a complete absence of guns, but there are plenty of countries where gun ownership among civilians is outright banned. Japan comes to mind - and the gun related crime statistics seem to back up the fact that even criminals can't really get their hands on one.
This, it’s also going to have a HUGE knock on effect for the rest of the industry
>You're making the opposite point you think you are. How do you know that you observed an inability to code as opposed to interview performance anxiety?

I've done lots of interviews, and I know that if someone has seen a question recently, or if someone is rusty in interviews, or one of a million things can affect someone's live coding ability.

So I'm not looking for speed, I don't give more 'points' to someone who is calm and collected vs. someone who takes twice as long cause they're nervous. They both "pass" in my book.

I also don't particularly care if someone starts intermixing java and C++ syntax or forgets the string library and says len(var) instead of var.len() for example.

I'm even fine with giving hints. But there are literally people, with hints, who cannot write a basic recursive function or understand to check for null references. That isn't being nervous. That's just...being bad at the craft.
